Alas, it is déjà vu all over again for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. At midnight Saturday, the ASO musicians and management failed to meet the deadline to agree on a new contract after eight months of negotiations. That means the players, while still employees of the orchestra, are effectively locked out of the Woodruff Arts Center (the orchestras home) and will not receive paychecks until a new agreement can be ratified. A similar labor dispute silenced this orchestra exactly two years ago. Well have more about the current ASO crisis in the coming days, but in the meantime, were resuscitating audible proof — first posted in Sept. 2012, the last time this happened — that the Atlanta Symphony is well worth caring about, no matter where you live.
